Benny has a basket of 5 red balls, 3 yellow balls, and 2 green balls. He will pick one
ball at random. What is the probability that the next ball he randomly chooses will be
red or green?
Type the answer in the box as a fraction in simplest form.

Respuesta :

Answer:

7/11 green or red balls

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 3 + 2 = 11 = whole basket

5 + 2 = 7 = red + green

probability = 7 / 11  balls

Hope this helps!

The probability that the next ball he randomly chooses will be red or green is 7/10

Probability

From the question, we are to determine the probability that the next ball Benny randomly chooses will be red or green

From the given information,

Benny has a basket of 5 red balls, 3 yellow balls, and 2 green balls

∴ Total number of possible outcome = 5 + 3 + 2 = 10

Now we will determine the probability of picking red

Using the formula,

[tex]P(A) = \frac{Number\ of\ favourable\ outcome\ to\ A}{Total\ number\ of\ favourable\ outcomes}[/tex]

∴ [tex]P(R) = \frac{5}{10}[/tex]

For the probability of picking green

[tex]P(G) = \frac{2}{10}[/tex]

Then, the probability of red or green is

∴ [tex]P(R \ or \ G) = \frac{5}{10} + \frac{2}{10}[/tex]

[tex]P(R \ or \ G) = \frac{7}{10}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the next ball he randomly chooses will be red or green is 7/10
